Alto Saxophone,B-Flat Clarinet,B-Flat Trumpet,Baritone Saxophone,Cello,Flute,Horn,Oboe,Tenor Saxophone,Trombone,Tuba,Viola,Violin,Voice - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1097330 Composed by Peter Cornelius/Philipp Nicolai. Arranged by William J. Bullock. 19th Century,Christmas,Holiday,Sacred,Spiritual. 33 pages. Sigma Squared Music #701272. Published by Sigma Squared Music (A0.1097330). This famous song is from the cycle Weihnachtslieder (“Christmas Songsâ€) by the deeply spiritual German composer Peter Cornelius. Composed in 1856 and revised in 1859 and 1870, the cycle is one of the composer’s most popular works. The perspicuity and clarity of its music and verse (Cornelius wrote both) reflect the composer’s engaging and candid temperament. The poetic message of the angular vocal line is cleverly bolstered by the subliminal message of the smoothly flowing accompanying chorale, How Brightly Shines the Morning Star by Philipp Nicolai (1556–1608). Please review our electronic delivery policy before purchasing the digital download version of this title. The accompaniment in this arrangement is scored for flexible instrumentation sextet, and is playable by a wide variety of standard ensembles or any other combination of players. Possible options include woodwind or brass quintet plus melody, string sextet, clarinet choir, saxophone sextet, or double reed ensemble. The parts are available in the following transpositions: Part 1 (Melody) C (Flute, Oboe, Violin) B-flat (Clarinet, Soprano Sax, Trumpet) E-flat (Alto Sax) Part 2 C (Flute, Oboe, Violin) B-flat (Clarinet, Soprano Sax, Trumpet) E-flat (Alto Sax*) Part 3 C (Flute, Oboe, Violin) B-flat (Clarinet, Soprano Sax, Trumpet) E-flat (Alto Sax, Alto Clarinet) Viola Part 4 C (Violin) B-flat (Clarinet, Trumpet) E-flat (Alto Sax, Alto Clarinet) F (Horn in F, English Horn) Viola Part 5 Bass Clef (Bassoon, Cello, Trombone) B-flat (Bass Clarinet, Tenor Sax, Baritone TC) E-flat (Baritone Sax) Horn in F Part 6 Bass Clef (Bassoon, Cello, Trombone, Tuba) B-flat (Bass Clarinet) B-flat (Bass Sax, Contrabass Clarinet) E-flat (Baritone Sax, Contralto Clarinet) * Note that due to the range of Part 2, the Alto Sax is quite high and Soprano would be a better option.

Bass Flute,Instrumental Solo,Piano - Level 2 - Digital Download SKU: A0.549846 Composed by Johann Sebastian Bach. Arranged by James M. Guthrie, ASCAP. Baroque,Concert,Easter,Sacred,Standards. Score and individual part. 12 pages. Jmsgu3 #3554877. Published by jmsgu3 (A0.549846). Wachet auf, ruft uns die Stimme (Awake, the voice is calling us) from Cantata BWV 140. Duration: ca. 4:00, Score: 6 pages, solo part 1 page, piano part: 4 pages. Program this for church services during the Easter season, weddings, or as a recital encore.Wachet auf, ruft uns die Stimme (Awake, the Voice is calling us) also known as: Sleepers Awake Bach composed his church cantata Wachet auf (BWV 140) as part of his second annual cantata cycle covering the entire annual church calendar. It is based on the hymn of the same name by Philipp Nicolai (1599). The hymn text covers the readings for the 27th Sunday after Trinity. Bach designed the cantata in seven movements, setting the stanzas in various forms. Among these forms are the chorale fantasia, the chorale prelude, and a four-part chorale. He casts the new lyrics as recitatives – in a manner similar to the opera. Fourth Movement Bach writes the fourth movement, Zion hört die Wächter singen (Zion hears the watchmen singing), in the style of a chorale prelude with the chorale phrases performed as a strict cantus firmus. The phrases seem to enter at times erratically against the famous lyrical melody. The violins play this melody in unison as a foil against the cantus phrases. The violin melody is so independent and complete that when the cantus melody appears it catches the listener at times totally off-guard. Bach later transcribed this movement for organ (BWV 645). This transcription became No. 1 of the Six Schübler Chorales. Bach Overview First of all, Johann Sebastian Bach is maybe the greatest composer in music history. Certainly, he was prolific. As a result, everyone has heard of his works. Furthermore, these works number well over a thousand. It seems like people are probably most familiar with the instrumental works such as the Brandenburg Concertos, and the Goldberg Variations. But, similarly famous are such noteworthy works as the Well-Tempered Clavier, the Musical Offering, and certainly the Art of Fugue. Seems like his most famous vocal works include the most noteworthy Mass in B Minor. Also, most noteworthy, though, are the St. John Passion, and certainly the Christmas Oratorio. History Bach came from a long line of musicians and above all, composers. Consequently, he, first of all, pursued a career as a church organist. So as a result, he gained employment in various Protestant churches in Germany. For a while, he worked as a court musician in Weimar and Köthen. Here he probably developed his organ style and likewise his chamber music style. Eventually, he, therefore, gained an appointment as Cantor of St. Thomas in Leipzig. Here he worked until difficulties with his employer ultimately drove him away. The King of Poland finally appointed him as court composer. Style It seems like Bach created a fascinating new international style. He synthesized elements of the most noteworthy European music ideas into his new style. Even more, this new style was probably his synthesis of European musical rhythm and form. Furthermore, he demonstrated a complete mastery of counterpoint and motivic development. His sense of harmonic organization probably propelled him to the top. Revival Mendelssohn conducted a Bach revival in the nineteenth century. His effort probably helped to re-familiarize the public with the magnitude of Bach’s works. During this period, scholars published many noteworthy Bach biographies. Moreover, Wolfgang Schmieder published the BWV (Bach Werke Verzeichnis). As a result, this is now the official catalog of his entire artistic output. The BWV number allows us to locate a work in the catalog. Sometimes scholars will simply use an S (Schmieder) as an abbreviation for BWV. &n.

Brass Ensemble Euphonium,Horn,Trombone,Trumpet - Level 2 - Digital Download SKU: A0.504500 Composed by Johann Sebastian Bach. Arranged by David A. Riethmiller. Baroque,Classical,Praise & Worship,Sacred. Score and parts. 21 pages. David A. Riethmiller #116291. Published by David A. Riethmiller (A0.504500). This is the complete set of parts for a brass quintet arrangement of J.S. Bach’s chorale Wachet auf, ruft uns die Stimme. The chorale was a 3-voice prelude modeled on part of Bach's earlier cantata by the same name, first performed in November 1731. The cantata was in turn is based on the hymn Wake, Awake, for Night is Flying, written by the German Lutheran pastor, composer, and lyricist Philipp Nicolai in 1598, which is typically used during the end-of-year or Advent season. This arrangement is intended for a brass quintet of varying skill level; the Trumpet 1 part does not exceed a brief high G, but an optional Piccolo Trumpet is available. The three voices of the chorale are purposely divided among the five brass parts, to avoid fatigue in any one part. The bass part is taken by the Euphonium player, assumed to have a four-valve instrument accommodating several lower notes, but a Tuba may also be substituted, one octave below written.
